| Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | 2. Summary of significant accounting policies Basis of presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or U.S. GAAP, for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, Regulation S-X for interim financial information. These unaudited condensed financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, as filed with the SEC on March 25, 2026, or the 2025 10-K. The condensed balance sheet as of December 31, 2025 was derived from the audited annual financial statements as of and for the period then ended. Certain information and footnote disclosures included in the Company’s annual financial statements have been condensed or omitted. The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements reflect all adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature except for the impacts of adopting new accounting standards, if any, discussed below. These interim financial results are not necessarily indicative of results expected for the full fiscal year or for any subsequent interim period. There were no changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies during the six months ended June 30, 2026, as described in the Company’s audited financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2025 included in the 2025 10-K. Use of estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed financial statements and accompanying notes. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and market-specific or other relevant assumptions that it believes are reasonable under the circumstances. Assets and liabilities reported in the Company’s condensed balance sheet and revenue and expenses reported in the Company's condensed statement of operations and comprehensive loss are affected by estimates and assumptions, which are used for, but are not limited to, measuring and recognizing revenue, including any related constraints, and determining the fair value of assets and liabilities, including income tax uncertainties, the measurement of stock-based compensation expense, and certain accruals. Actual results could differ from such estimates or assumptions. Segment reporting The Company operates and manages its business as one reportable and operating segment, which is the business of harnessing its understanding of human genetics and variant functionalization to develop small molecule precision medicines. The Company’s , who is the chief operating decision maker, or CODM, reviews financial information on an aggregate basis for allocating resources and evaluating financial performance. The CODM, in alignment with the Company’s overall corporate strategy and goals, analyzes a variety of data to guide segment resource allocation, including program and portfolio scientific data, probability of regulatory and commercial success, and the competitive environment. The CODM also reviews certain financial results included in the segment loss from operations which is reported on the condensed statements of operations and comprehensive loss as total loss from operations. The measure of segment assets is reported on the condensed balance sheets as total assets. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, all of the Company’s property and equipment was maintained in the United States. The Company generated no license revenue during the three months ended June 30, 2026 and license revenue of $20.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2026. No revenue was generated during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025. Segment information for prior periods has been recast to conform to the current year segment information that is provided to the CODM. The following table presents selected financial information with respect to the Company’s single operating segment for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 (amounts in thousands):
Fair value measurement Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability, or an exit price, in the principal or most advantageous market for that asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date, and establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs, where available, and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The Company determined the fair value of financial assets and liabilities using the fair value hierarchy that describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value, as follows: • Level 1—Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets; • Level 2—Observable inputs, other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities; and • Level 3—Unobservable inputs reflecting the Company’s own assumptions incorporated in valuation techniques used to determine fair value. These assumptions are required to be consistent with market participant assumptions that are reasonably available. For certain financial instruments, including cash and accounts payable, as well as certain accrued liabilities, the recorded amount approximates estimated fair value due to their relatively short maturity period. Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash The Company considers all highly liquid financial instruments with original maturities of 90 days or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, cash equivalents consisted of money market funds. Restricted cash is comprised of cash that is restricted as to withdrawal or use under the terms of certain contractual agreements. Restricted cash as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025 included $1.1 million as collateral for a letter of credit related to the Company’s headquarters building lease in South San Francisco, California. Restricted cash is classified as a noncurrent asset on the balance sheet. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, restricted cash consisted of money market funds. Deferred offering costs The Company defers offering costs consisting of legal, accounting and other fees and costs directly associated with in-process equity financings until such financings are consummated. After consummation of the equity financing, these costs are classified in stockholders’ equity as a reduction of the additional paid-in capital recorded as a result of the financing. If the in-process financing is abandoned, the deferred offering costs are expensed immediately as a charge to operating expenses in the condensed statements of operations and comprehensive loss.
Debt issuance costs and debt discount Debt issuance costs include legal fees, accounting fees and other direct costs incurred in connection with the execution of the Company's debt financings. Debt discount represents costs paid to the lenders. Debt issuance costs and debt discount are deducted from the carrying amount of the debt liability and are amortized to interest expense over the term of the related debt using the effective interest method. Revenue recognition The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification, or ASC, 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, or ASC 606. To determine the appropriate amount and timing of revenue to be recognized under this guidance, the Company performs the following steps: (i) identifies the contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identifies the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determines the transaction price, including variable consideration, if any; (iv) allocates the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognizes revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. The Company has entered into arrangements involving the license of intellectual property. Analyzing the license arrangements to identify performance obligations requires the use of judgment. In arrangements that include the license of intellectual property and other promised services, the Company first identifies if the licenses are distinct from the other promises in the arrangement. For the license of intellectual property that is distinct, the Company recognizes revenue from consideration allocated to the license when the license is transferred and the customer is able to benefit from the license. If the license is not distinct, the license is combined with other services into a single performance obligation and the Company recognizes revenue when (or as) the performance obligation is satisfied. Factors that are considered in evaluating whether a license is distinct from other promised services include, for example, whether the counterparty can benefit from the license without the promised service on its own or with other readily available resources and whether the promised service is expected to significantly modify or customize the intellectual property. Promised goods and services that are not material in the context of the contract are not considered performance obligations. The transaction price is the amount of consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring promised goods or services to a customer. The consideration promised in a contract with a customer may include fixed amounts, variable amounts, or both. Non-refundable upfront payments are considered fixed consideration and included in the transaction price. At the inception of an arrangement and at each reporting period thereafter, the Company assesses whether it should include development, regulatory, commercial milestones or other forms of variable consideration in the transaction price using the most likely amount method. The Company evaluates whether the milestones are considered probable of being reached and estimates the amount to be included in the transaction price. The Company includes the amount of estimated variable consideration, including milestones, in the transaction price to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur. Milestone payments that are not within the Company’s control or the licensee’s control, such as regulatory approvals, are generally not considered probable of being achieved until those approvals are received. At the end of each reporting period, the Company re-evaluates the probability of achievement of the milestones and any related constraint, and, if necessary, adjusts its estimate of the overall transaction price. Any such adjustments are recorded on a cumulative catch-up basis, which will affect revenue in the period of adjustment. In addition, the Company is eligible to receive certain royalties on net sales of licensed products if successfully commercialized by our licensees. The royalties are dependent on future sales, which are at the full discretion of the licensee. We will recognize sales-based milestone payments in the period in which we achieve the milestone under the sales-based royalty exception allowed under accounting rules. Accordingly, we will apply a constraint to these amounts until the future sales have occurred. For arrangements with licenses of intellectual property that include sales-based royalties, including milestone payments based on the level of sales, and if the license is deemed to be the predominant item to which the royalties relate, the Company recognizes royalty revenue and sales-based milestones at the later of (i) when the related sales occur, or (ii) when the performance obligation to which the royalty has been allocated has been satisfied. Amounts received prior to satisfying the revenue recognition criteria are recorded as deferred revenue in the Company’s balance sheets. If the related performance obligation is expected to be satisfied within the next twelve months this will be classified in current liabilities. Amounts recognized as revenue prior to receipt are recorded as contract assets in the Company’s balance sheets. If the Company expects to have an unconditional right to receive consideration in the next twelve months, this will be classified in current assets. Net loss per share Net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is calculated using the two-class method required for companies with participating securities. The Company considered its convertible preferred stock to be participating securities as the holders were entitled to receive noncumulative dividends in the event that a dividend is paid on common stock. Basic net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period less common shares subject to vesting or forfeiture, without consideration for potentially dilutive securities. In September 2025, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement, or the Private Placement, pursuant to which the Company issued pre-funded warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 5,231,090 shares of its common stock at a purchase price of $16.249 per pre-funded warrant, or the 2025 Pre-Funded Warrants. In April 2026, the Company completed an underwritten registered offering, or the Underwritten Registered Offering, pursuant to which the Company issued pre-funded warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 850,000 shares of its common stock at a purchase price of $23.499 per pre-funded warrant, or the 2026 Pre-Funded Warrants. The 2025 Pre-Funded Warrants and 2026 Pre-Funded Warrants are exercisable immediately at an exercise price of $0.001 per share and do not expire. The pre-funded warrants are considered outstanding upon issuance for the purposes of computing basic net loss per share because the shares are fully vested and exercisable for little consideration after their original issuance date. See Note 6, Capital structure, for further discussion of the Private Placement and Underwritten Registered Offering. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares and the number of common shares that would be issued assuming exercise and conversion of all potentially dilutive instruments. In calculating diluted net loss per share, the Company applies the treasury stock method to equity awards, if dilutive. Distributed and undistributed earnings are allocated to participating securities based on their participation rights and are subtracted from net income in determining net income attributable to common stockholders for basic and diluted net income per share, only in periods of net income. Because the Company reported a net loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, and the inclusion of the potentially dilutive securities would be antidilutive, diluted net loss per share is the same as basic net loss per share for the periods presented. Recently adopted accounting pronouncements In July 2025, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued Accounting Standards Update, or ASU, 2025-05, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets, which provides a practical expedient that assumes that current conditions as of the balance sheet date do not change for the remaining life of the asset in developing reasonable and supportable forecasts during the application of the current expected credit loss model for current accounts receivable and current contract assets arising from transactions under ASC 606. The Company adopted ASU 2025-05 effective January 1, 2026. The Company determined there is no impact to its financial statements from adopting ASU 2025-05 as it does not develop forecasts as part of estimating expected credit losses. New accounting pronouncements—Not yet adopted In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures, which will require additional expense disclosures for all public entities. The amendments require that at each interim and annual reporting period, an entity will disclose certain disaggregated expenses included in each relevant expense caption, as well as the total amount of selling expenses and, in annual periods, an entity’s definition of selling expenses. ASU 2024-03 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning with the fiscal year ending December 31, 2027, and interim periods thereafter, with early adoption permitted. The Company expects the adoption of this standard to result in increased disclosures in its financial statements. In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025‑11, Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow-Scope Improvements. ASU 2025-11 improves clarity for interim financial reporting requirements under the existing guidance within ASC 270, Interim Reporting. ASU 2025-11 is effective for public entities with annual periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2025-11 on its financial statements and related disclosures. |
